5 Steps To Safely RemOving Disposable Gloves
- Careful not to touch your bare skin, grab the outside of one glove at the wrist cuff (the glove's opening).
- Peel the glove away from the direction of your body, slowly turning it inside out.
- 'Ball up' and hold the glove that you've removed in your currently gloved hand.
- Carefully slide your ungloved fingers into the wrist cuff of the remaining glove.
- Turn the remaining glove inside out while slowly peeling the glove away from your body and immediately dispose of the gloves. DO NOT REUSE DISPOSABLE GLOVES
PRO TIP: YOU Can't Rush Safety
When removing disposable gloves, it is important to do so slowly and mindfully. Removing gloves quickly and creating the sound of a 'snap' is dangerous, as doing so can cause spray. This can cause dangerous contaminants on the glove's surface to be projected and released into the air.
